Matches Chords by Sammy Kershaw

[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] We met at the broken [Bm] spoke restaurant and lounge
[G] I lit your cigarette
[Em] Then you wrote your [D] number down
On the inside of a [Bm] matchbook
That was laying on the bar
[G] And a fire [Em] started burning
[D] Somewhere in my heart
I didn't see it coming
[Bm] Yes, I didn't read the signs
[G] I just never thought you'd [D] leave me
After all this time
But today when I came home
[Bm] My key was hollow in the door
[G] There was nothing [Em] but a worn out
[D] Book of matches on the floor
You [G] took the bed
You took the dishes [D] and the car
And you broke my trust
And [Bm] you took advantage of my [A] heart
And you left me here
[G] With [Bm] empty rooms [A] and walls with [D] holes
[G] Scars and scratches
[Em] If I find the [D] strength
To burn [G] your memory down
At _ [D] least you left the matches _
[Bm] The _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] colors old and fade
[Bm] The covers worn and stained
[G] But I can still make out the numbers
[Em] And the heart beside [B] your name
_ [D] Until tonight they'd only
[Bm] Lit a single cigarette
[C#] [G] Now one by [Em] one I'm striking them
[A] To help me [D] to forget
_ [Bm] Everybody _
[A] [D] had the [G] broken spoke
They [Bm] all thought my [A] crazy [D] story
[G] Was a joke
[D] Now [Bm] they're all out [A] in the parking lot
[G] Staring at the smoke
You _
[D] _ [G] took the bed
You [Em] took the dishes [A] and the car
[D] And you broke my trust
You [Bm] took advantage of my [A] heart
And you left me [G] here
With [Bm] empty rooms and [A] walls with [D] holes
[G] And scars and scratches
[Em] Now I've found the strength
[D] To burn [G] your memory down
_ Oh, [D] at least you left the matches
[A] [Bm] Baby, all that's [A] left of our [D] love
Are those ashes
_ [Em] _ [G]
[D] Thank God you left the matches
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _
